PHOENICIAN RETRIEVERS
A Legacy Cache sponsored by pilot172
Caching since 2005, our Phoneician Retrievers have joined us on
most of our excursions. Bracha and Gila were abandonbed pups which
our family brought back to Canada in 1995 from Israel. Our sons
spent that archaeological season hand feeding them while we were
excavating.
The two sisters, lab terrier crosses were abandoned and muc hto
our surprise you can bring dogs across the ocean back to Canada.
They will join us at Best of the BAD and motivated us to create a
coin in their honour. At 16 they still cache -- just slowly!
This cache is part of the Legacy Trail produced by the Canadian
Badlands Geocaching Association for the Best of the Bad Mega
Event.
The Legacy Trail
The Legacy Trail is a collection of geocaches that circles its
way over 100 miles on country roads traversing some of the most
scenic and spectacular landscape in this part of the Canadian
Badlands. A large number of caches in a variety of types, sizes and
difficulty are placed on the Trail. Every town, village and hamlet
in the Canadian Badlands has its own cache. Some caches were named
after local historic events and people, as well as celebrities who
grew up in this area. Some caches were sponsored by geocachers who
attended the Best of the Bad Mega Event. The Legacy Trail was
produced by the Canadian Badlands Geocaching Association for the
Best of the Bad Mega Event.
The Canadian Badlands
The Canadian Badlands in Alberta are like no other place on
earth, home to the world's most extensive dinosaur bonebeds,
badlands and hoodoos, and a world-class museum that shelters a 75
million-year-old legacy. The region is rich in culturally and
historically significant sites that tell the story of the First
Nations people and early settlers, and of a complex and diverse
modern society that is still deeply rooted in the spirit of the
frontier.
